Butte / Magma Copper Lode-Style
● Mineralisation at Thursday’s Gossan is similar to the
Butte (Montana) and Magma (Arizona) deposits:
1. High-grade, structurally-controlled lode-style
copper-gold-silver systems
2. Vertically and laterally extensive
3. Mineralised on multiple structures
4. Sulphide species are zoned laterally and vertically
5. Metal source at depth (the porphyry)
This style of deposit has never before been
seen in Australia and represents a hugely
exciting exploration target
